Proverbs31:2

2 What , my son! and what, the son of my womb ! and what the son of my vows !

A short speech, arguing her great passion for him; What dost thou do? or, What words shall I take? What Counsels shall I give thee? My heart is full, I must give it vent: but where shall I begin?

My Son, not by Adoption, but whom I bare in my Womb, and brought [illegible: 1+ letters]orth with great pain, and brought up with tender care; and therefore it is my duty to give thee Admonitions, and thine to receive them; and what I speak is from sincere and servent affection to thee, which I trust thou wilt not despise.

On whose behalf I have made many Prayers, and Sacrifices, and solemn Vows to God; whom I have, as far as in me lay, devoted to the Work, and Service, and Glory of God.
